Draper hires Murray's former coach Delgado

Jack Draper has hired Jamie Delgado, who worked with Andy Murray when he became world number one, as his new head coach.

The British number one will soon begin preparations in earnest for next season, having only been able to play one singles match since Wimbledon because of bone bruising in his left arm.

Delgado will cover the majority of weeks on tour, but there will still be a role for James Trotman who has been by Draper's side for the past four years.

It was a period of great success for Draper, who this year alone reached the world's top four and won his first Masters 1000 event at Indian Wells.
